<VV> WSJ Corvair Sighting

[MarK Durham]

In reading the comments at the bottom, this one came home to me: Growing up
I had two female cousins that had the 110 Hp versions with the slip n slide
powerglide, one was blue and one white. Mary's little white one was the
only vehicle, short of a tractor, that could make it up the soapstone/clay
road by the old farm house after a rain.

My 62 coupe in 1966 had the 102, 4 speed and posi rear end. With sawdust
retread snow tires on it, and chains, I could drive in a foot or more of
snow --- forever. The flat bottom would pancake and the two rear wheels
would just keep getting traction until I would have to stop because of the
big pile of snow on the hood!!!
